Leather coral got sucked into filter!! Help!!

Our leather coral decided to migrate today and ended up in the filter. Turned the filter off got it out and it doesn't look good. Any suggestions????

 

Sorry to hear that...
btw, Welcome to 3Reef.
I dont suppose you have another tank that you could use for a quarantine tank or hospital tank?
Sometimes all you can do is watch and wait, or if you are really good at fragging leathers...
You could take the razor to it.
Can you post any pictures?

Sounds like a bunch of frags to me.

Don't worry, leathers are very durable. Will just sulk awhile after experience with filter.

Bad water conditions and lack of flow are what do leathers in.

 

as omard said leathers are troopers.. I have 3 in my nano that grow none stop even after my fragging, which is new to me.. It should be fine. I cut mine way down and sell to my lfs. They always grow back without a problem.>>>>>

 

chuck it back in and see what happens!!
Keep your hands off it as they don't like being touched.
You'll probably be pleasently surprised.
And as the others stated just cutoff the wrecked peices.

 

Thank you for the help..here are some pics

Thank you allfor the suggestions. Here are a few quick pics with my phone. Hopefully this will work out ok.

Thanks again..

 

Heck...looks fine to me. I thought maybe it was all shredded up.

Will perk up fine in day or so...

 

Thank you all so much for your advice...we were panicking. Looks like it will be fine.
